The Internetz

The internet can be such an unintentionally funny place. I was just reading this article on how streaming media may replace regular cable like Comcast one day. In the comments section, this guy writes:

"I stopped watching traditional news shows on the big networks when I realized how left-wing their coverage was. They constantly insulted or ignored half their audience. Furthermore, I stopped watching movies because hollywood would inevitable insult me and promote poverty, communism and dictatorship, while living the high-life off of a free market, capitalist based movie industry.

"I mainly read blogs because I can choose which ones I want to visit and which ones I want to turn away from. I control what I see, not some cable company forcing crap down my throat."

So then this guy comments directly below him:

"So you're saying that now you only look at content that supports and reinforces your biases?"

The first guy comments back:

"It must really bother you that I have the opportunity to turn away from the propoganda you likely believe in. I am assuming you are a statist because anyone who believes in choice and freedom wouldn't have responded to my post the way you did."

Something about that line -- "propoganda you likely believe in" -- just cracks me up (and it's not just the fact that propaganda is misspelled).
